Opportunity

dream_king passed on an opportunity to photograph an event at the Media Club in July for Heeb Magazine. It's volunteer, but an easy gig shooting a party (gee... never done that before..!) with the upshot of getting photos published in a very hip New York magazine with a readership of 125,000 (Keyboard Magazine, for the sake of comparison, has a readership of 42,000) with an inevitable portion of those readers being involved in the art and media scene in New York.

I spoke to the person here in Vancouver in charge of the event and fired off some samples and links. This is a good opportunity to get my name out where it matters. Hopefully I'll get the gig.

Thanks, Ziv.

The Drunken Antics of Anonymous Strangers

This morning I found a strip of negatives, bent in half and trod-on in the rain, lying on the stairs to the Burrard Skytrain station.

For sciencequeen

In between scanning pictures of drunks I've been working on the Graver cartoon by generating fractals for the background. sciencequeen, I figured you'd like to see it before I blur it and otherwise mangle it for the cartoon:



Damn is it ever easier to make these things now than what I used to go through in the early 1990's. Pardon me while I thumb through my old copy of "Dynamical systems and fractals: Computer graphics experiments in Pascal" by Karl-Heinz Becker and Michael Dörfler... Jeez... I used to actually understand more math than what it takes to do my taxes. These days it's been so long since I've done anything beyond junior-high level arithmetic I'd have to look up how to factor a polynomial. Sad.
